So I went on and crossed the city to buy that cheap Red Classic Buckle. No regrets 😅

Thanks! I am from Brazil, and here it is not very easy to get original bands, but little by little I am growing my collection. By the way, my collection is this:

I got a handmade box that already needs an upgrade. I saw your post of the prototype and it is beautiful, congratulations!
Woah! You’ve got a little bit of everything! Sport loops, woven nylons, leather loops...

Living in Brazil, do you ever see the Olympics woven nylons come up for sale? I’d be curious to know if there are more of them still in the country or if most of them have been exported or shipped elsewhere.
 
I got this light blue/green band today that did not come with a box or any information. Am I right that it is Turquoise?

I’m not seeing the blue of turquoise at all but I might not be calibrating my eyes right. And I trust Mike. I was sure it was mint. Been too long since we did this! My fav activ!

The lighting is a bit off making it appear a little green, but turquoise itself has that hint of green anyways. It’s too light of a color to be mint. Notice how bright spearmint is compared to turquoise, then check it against mint and see less color difference.

Also, adjusting the color to match it to mint you see the lugs and printing just go back to blue.

As soon as I posted and scrolled, my eyes adjusted and it all clicked in. The adapters always throw me. Plus wanting to have a different/correct opinion.
 
Beautiful beautiful beautiful but then I wouldn’t expect anything less from Mr. Front Page of MR, top story boi. 😘😘😘
I knew the name sounded familiar! I was on the front page for like 30 minutes a few months back. Where’s my attention now???

I’d love to see Apple release a Leather Link in Sunset or a similar orange colour, like what they had for the Leather Loop

@athousandbands will mock one up if he hasn’t already.

That doesn't look like Turquoise on my screen. It looks like Mint or Beryl.
 

Juans review of the refreshed "Classic" leather bands, Modern Buckle and Leather Loop, is up.

Modern Buckle, couldn't be any less interested although I do note Apple has put an end to what they appeared to trial last year with the gold lugged / black lugged Modern Buckles, as the two new colors plus Red and Saddle Brown are all silver lugged. Pink Citrus and Garnet look kinda bland to me.

Diver Blue as the sole 'new' colour for the Leather Loop is just a renamed Midnight Blue Clone as shown in comparison, virtually about no difference, has Diver Blue replaced the longstanding Midnight Blue itself? I also note for the Silicone Cases, it appears Deep Navy has replaced MB. Guess we'll see when Apples Leather Case for the iPhone 12 soon releases.

Overall, I prefer the new colour choices on the Leather Link (Baltic Blue and California Poppy), wonder why Apple is starting to divide new colour choices between these and the Leather Link - would start to wonder if these two band styles really are on their way out with the iterative refreshes they got
